Good to keep in mind!
Terry, for a carrier project I would invest in 12” x12” x8’ dunnage, cut and stack to suit, if need for track repair or heaven forbid floor repair. I had to stack them two high to facilitate spinning some frozen track on a Mk2 I used to own. I would suggest keeping a carrier upright and in position, for restoration.

However if your had to put a spin onto the term carrier roller, (I personally wouldn’t, unless it had to be done and no crane was available) then one might want to check this concept out. All joking aside it should work.

FB is not just good for finding old school friends and sharing the latest conspiracy theories. I asked this same Q on a group for M151 owners, and another member offered to send more pictures of the proper US military rotisserie. He got my attention with the ones attached.
